MINDFULNESS WELL GROUNDED
Dear Friends
I recently had a couple of friends visit me that have spent their life collecting beautiful Buddha statues and artifacts. They told me that the great detail and care that has gone into making these beautiful objects expresses deep love and respect for the Buddha and his Dhamma Teachings. This greatly inspires them to a life of Wisdom and Peace while also bringing great joy.
This appreciation and skilful use of a Buddha image certainly resonates with me and may also with yourselves.
Amidst a world that continues to show and share news about stress, pain and unskilful actions, we certainly need more reminders to a life of Moral Virtues, Meditative Calm and Insight, together with Learned and Lived Wisdom.
My verse below might suggest this motivation for you together with the photo of one of my friend’s beautiful Buddha statues expressing the Life of the Buddha.
Kind Regards
John B.
MINDFULNESS WELL GROUNDED
With Mindfulness well grounded;
With the Four Focuses of Attention, well founded;
With Insight-Wisdom well rounded;
And the Buddha’s call to Freedom thus sounded;
Our Life-Effort to realise Truth becomes unbounded.
